The Republican voting rights reform: The modern day poll tax
– "Everyone has a passport"—Err, actually no. Half of the Americans don't. 1 in 10 hasn't a birth certificate
– "Everyone is similarly impacted, so it's okay"—Nope, women and working class people are more impacted

I don't think that framing of the argument captures it.
I hear Republicans constantly talking about ID other than passports. Heck, I get the impression Republicans are generally skeptical of passports themselves.
And everyone is similarly impacted? There's a common thread in Republican mindsets that similar impact is emphatically not important. They constantly talk about equality of opportunity above equality of outcome.
